Driller Drive

Just when you thought it was safe to go back underground

Driller Drive is a Decepticon drone from the Cyberverse continuity family.

The Driller Drive is a high-tech mining vehicle. Upon being infused with the power of the Allspark, it can change into a set of powerful armor.

  • Spark Armor: "Driller Drive"

Part of the first wave of "Spark Armor" Battle Class figures, the Driller Drive is a drill tank that is included with Sky-Byte. It can break apart into four armor parts that Sky-Byte, or any other Battle Class figure to wear.

In the official stock photography, Sky-Byte is holding the drill in his hand via the post on its side - but the drill is molded to be able to fit over his fist directly, as shown in the instructions, replacing his hand. This makes for a less awkward incorporation of the weapon, though the drill cannot actually spin in either mode. The drill also depicts a yellow paint operation (or an unpainted patch) on the butt-end of the handle.

Unfortunately, the hexagonal 5 mm holes on the robot shoulders are prone to building some stress marks during transformation.

In November 2019, Sky-Byte was released as one of TakaraTomy Mall's Cyberverse "Christmas Set" offers along with his rival Jetfire.

Notes

• The Driller Drive appears to be based loosely on Zetar, sharing a similarly shaped "cockpit" and having details similar to his legs above its treads.
